Music
Mrs. Dane Ross

All students have music class once a week. I don’t know who has more fun, them or me! It is my goal to have fun while learning.

Grades 1, 2, and 4 will perform in the CHRISTMAS PROGRAM. Grades K, 3, and 5 will perform in the SPRING PROGRAM.

There is a SCHOOL CHOIR made up of students in Grades 3-8. The members are selected after auditioning. This choir sings for all school masses and prayer services.

The students in Grade 3 play the recorder. I remind the students that is takes a while before they sound like performers and suggest that they enter seclusion at home if they are practicing!!!
